Only Murders in the Building, the mystery-comedy series starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, is one of the most popular comedy television shows in recent memory. Now, in a new video, the Hulu series' principal cast members have announced the premiere date for the next season of the show.
Hulu's Only Murders in the Building follows three strangers (Martin, Short, and Gomez) who utilize their shared passion for true crime to solve a murder that happens in their apartment building. In addition to crime-solving, the strangers must parse through drama between each other as their complicated pasts further complicate the mystery at hand.
The video released on YouTube shows Martin, Short, and Gomez in an elevator as they help reveal the premiere date of the second season: June 28th, 2022. The brief clip teases more of their onscreen chemistry, which is a big part of what makes the series so successful and something that almost propelled the actors to be the hosts of the next Academy Awards ceremony. Hulu has been hard at work on the Only Murders in the Building season 2, and a slew of new and returning cast members will be joining the central trio, including Nathan Lane, Cara Delevigne, Shirley MacLaine, Amy Schumer, Michael Rapaport, and others.
The second season of Only Murders in the Building comes at a precarious time for comedy series on television and streaming. A slew of recent titles have become viral hits across a myriad of streaming platforms. Apple TV Plus' Ted Lasso, which has already been greenlit for season three, is a big hit among sports fans and comedy fans alike. Meanwhile, the growing list of comedy television hits also includes series like Peacemaker, What We Do in the Shadows, Inside Job, and The Righteous Gemstones.
It's safe to say that Only Murders in the Building is a series with a promising future ahead. The series has done great things for the careers of Martin, Short, and Gomez, and it has also increased Hulu's visibility in the increasingly competitive world of streaming. Here's hoping that Only Murders in the Building continues to entertain new and existing fans in its forthcoming seasons.
Only Murders in the Building season 2 premieres on June 28th, 2022, on Hulu.
